Curried Lentil Soup image

This is my version of a very tasty soup recipe that was in the local newspaper. It's a good idea to make the vegetables all about the same size dice, they cook evenly that way. I used half chicken stock and half water, but I'm sure that vegetable stock would be great too that way the soup could be kosher and or vegetarian!

I'm allergic to lentils, so I made this soup with chickpeas instead. It was still delicious!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much broth.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.
